More documentation updates.
.README.in:
The contents of java/runtime come under the LGPL as well.
Minor rewording.
README.MS-Windows:
We don't need to list every version of Windows we no longer
actively support. (If the version is not on the list of those
we *do* support, then we don't support it.)
README.MacOS:
We will never support compiling Mercury with llvm-gcc on
Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
Julien.
